Install / Update

Hi there,
While running command bench init frappe-bench

Got the following error and am stuck on it:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-iMpPEY/mysql-python/

Dont know about the error as well.

Try

cd frappe-bench
./env/bin/pip install -e frappe-bench/apps/frappe

And see what error appears.

3

frappe-bench/apps/frappe should either be a path to a local project or a VCS url beginning with svn+, git+, hg+, or bzr+

Above is the error.

Not sure what might have caused it, can you restart the whole process again?

I tried it but having the same issue again and again.
Actually i first used easy install method.
So what i did was i just ran the below command because i wanted it for the same user as well i wanted it for both develop and production so didnt mentioned any option there.
It provided a feedback that frappe and erpnext is successfully installed.
But there was no directory created so i went ahead with manual install method.

python install.py

Any update on this??
I tried to do the manual installation as well, but getting the same error.
What’s wrong?

I get that only with the -e / --editable switch on the pip install command. No such error without it.

But note that the command I am using is to pull the PyPi version…

pip3 install frappe-bench # works
# pip3 install -e frappe-bench # *** bad ***
